Teacher Expectations for Remote Learning Days:

HHS and Henry County Schools won’t stop learning in the event of inclement weather or other identified school disruptions. It is expected that teachers will take their laptops and chargers home daily so that they will be accessible in the event of Remote Learning Days. During Remote Learning Days, teachers will be digitally accessible daily from 8:15 am to 3:15 pm to engage in communication with students and parents via their online learning platform, scheduled digital office hours on Google Meet, and through email to answer questions and provide tutorial opportunities. Teachers will continue to follow Henry Teaching and Learning Standards (HTLS) and Henry Learning Progressions (HLP). During the time of remote learning, teachers are expected to assign work to be produced and graded daily and to provide feedback on instructional tasks/assignments within a reasonable timeframe to all students as they complete and submit assignments electronically. It is expected that CFAs and Benchmarks will continue as planned.  Teachers will continue to utilize district and teacher instructional resources to assist with instructional tasks and additional support for learning.
